International Fees and Funding

International Fees, Funding and Scholarships

Studying overseas is a great investment in your future, although before you begin it is important to think about how you will fund your studies.

Tuition Fees

As an international student at the University of Lincoln, you will be required to pay tuition fees for each year of your course. Depending on your subject area and level, tuition fees may vary. For information on specific course fees, please see individual course pages.

Tuition Fee Status

In the UK, university students are classified as either Home, European Union (EU), Channel Islands or Overseas students in relation to the cost of tuition fees.

Your student status, and therefore the level of tuition fee you are required to pay, is determined by your nationality and the country where you usually live.

To qualify for Home/EU student status, the main eligibility criteria are to either have:

UK/EU citizenship/nationality and have been domiciled in the UK for three years prior to the first day of the first year of your academic course (the main reason for residing in the UK must not have been for the purpose of full-time education)

Or been granted refugee status by the Government

Or been granted ‘indefinite leave to remain’, ‘discretionary leave to remain’ or ‘humanitarian protection’ by the UK Home Office and been domiciled in the UK and Islands since having been granted that status

Or UK/EU citizenship/nationality and have been domiciled in the European Economic Area (EEA) for three years prior to the first day of the first year of your academic course (the main reason for residing in the EEA must not have been for the purpose of full-time education).

Decisions on Your Student Fee Status

An initial decision on your student fee status will be made based on information you provide as part of your application. If you do not meet the criteria, or you do not provide sufficient information to be classed as a Home or EU student, you will be classed as an overseas student for tuition fee purposes. If you believe this to be incorrect, you will be asked to complete a fee assessment questionnaire as part of the admissions process.
